PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an alkali metal cell that operates with high reliability and high precision for a long period of time and can be used for an atomic oscillator of low power consumption. ! SOLUTION: A method for manufacturing an alkali metal cell includes the processes of: forming a first opening part and a second opening part which penetrates a substrate 110; joining a first transparent substrate 121 to one surface of the substrate; installing a compound containing alkali metal in the second opening part; and forming a first joint metal layer of first metal at a part corresponding to between the first opening part and the second opening part. A connection part is formed by joining the other surface of the substrate and one surface of a second transparent substrate 122 together with a second joint metal layer. Alkali metal is generated from the compound containing alkali metal and supplied to the first opening part from the second opening part through the connection part, and after the alka |
